Monument record 8840/4 - Probable Iron Age/Roman settlement, north-west of Crow's Nest Farm

Iron Age and/or Roman irregular curvilinear ditched enclosures and boundaries, probably marking the site of a settlement, are recorded as cropmarks on EH Reconnaissance aerial photographs taken in July 2011. The enclosure encloses a sub-circular area measuring about 600m across. It is cut through by a modern farm track. The boundary of a partially visible enclosure extends parallel to the north and eastern parts of the sub-circular enclosure forming a larger enclosure measuring at least 80 metres long. Another curvilinear enclosure is situated immediately to the west. This is almost certainly an enclosure recorded more clearly on EH Reconnaissance aerial photographs taken in July 2010.
